Lost: a poem by a poet who remains anonymous
Sailing in a sea of endless thought
I wonder if my life has a plot
A planned out map for me to travel through
This poem may be random thoughts and quotes
I’d write a song if I could find the notes
But my mind is a sea of endless thought
And inside, a mighty storm is being fought
With it’s strong blows, the winds of anxiety
With it’s secret emotions, my heart holds the key
The key to destroy me
Turn it to left, turn it to the right
Watch me crumble to tears in just one night
At times it takes one word to turn that key
To send me into the stormy sea
Other times a glance into broken eyes
Or silver tears under broken skies
But most of all, I will not lie
It’s when someone says the words,
“Goodbye.”
